Handmade Lights by Lam Quang and Kestrel Gates

I think an overriding sense of what we are striving to create here is a space where alternate ideas, concepts and ultimately products in our online shop can be shared and supported.

Selection of Imagery from Carlie Armstrong

After highlighting Jennifer Causey and her Brooklyn Makers book the other day I came across another photographer that’s passionate about sharing some American creativity. Tonight I thought I’d give her work a showcase here because I’m a big fan of what she’s trying to do with her own project and felt it deserved a bit more attention.

A Closer Look, Blackbird, Portland

Blackbird give us a closer look at their brand new Portland store through the imagery presented above and below. Looks like they’ve stepped out of Seattle and have wedged themselves in-between two cracking shops, one by Dunderdon and the other by Tanner Goods. They will be offering a selection of product that is very much in tow with the items online with labels such as …
